Dynamic Flow Measurements Based on Molecular Rayleigh Scattering

Abstract

Practically all flows in the real world, ranging from the small scale flow found in blood vessels, to the very large scale flows found in the atmosphere are turbulent. The understanding of turbulence is of particular importance in the effort to develop new fuel-efficient, quiet aircraft, both in the development of airframes and in the development of propulsion systems.
